A hydraulic 4-way valve controls the flow of hydraulic fluid in a system by directing it to different ports. The diagram typically features four ports: two for the inlet and outlet of the pump and two for the actuator (cylinder or motor). The valve can be in different positions, allowing fluid to flow in one direction or the opposite, facilitating the extension and retraction of a hydraulic cylinder. Symbols representing the valve's ports and the flow paths are commonly used in hydraulic schematics.
